Growing up with a seamstress mother in Banjarmasin, Hana Surya has always found threadwork a source of therapeutic solace.
In 2015, fifty-year-old Hana moved to Jakarta to be with her husband, after fifteen years of raising their daughters in Singapore. Volunteering at a local fashion event, Hana unexpectedly received an abundance of fabric offcuts from participating fashion designers, leading her to start a textile studio with a master seamster and her niece. Since then, Hana and her growing team’s process always starts with the unpredictable ‘harvest’ of fabric offcuts and used textiles from local garment factories. Batik boutiques. Bridal ateliers. Coffee roasters. And even hospitals. Paired with a dedication to lasting workmanship.
Over the years we have grown, thanks to the inspiring commissions from our clients and collaborators, including: Lexus, Superset Design Studio, Studio Metta Setiandi, Budi Lim Architects, Conture Concrete Lab.
We are also grateful to have been able to share our work and learnings in: Paris (Maison & Objet), Milan (Milan Design Week), Singapore (EMERGE @ FIND Design Fair Asia), Bali (John Hardy Boutique & Gallery) and Jakarta (Poliform & Studio Metta Setiandi)
Thank you friends, family, clients, curators, fellow artists-designers-makers-humans, and our wing team in Singapore. We could not have enjoyed all these adventures without your encouragement and expert support.
